Six Iwènétsian words! See the article for details about them :)


za0kè2mī - Glyph - kèzá

Here, the <za> glyph is used but since it is preceded by <kè>, it is read as <zà>. <mī>, which is silent here, only stands for its meaning: letter, glyph.

ka0na5na3ngo4rà6 - draught - kanò

Here, three of the glyphs are pronounced: <ka>, which is the pillar glyph, <na3> which only produces /n/, and <ngo4> which produces /ø/. <rà6> induct the tone (˥˩) and <na5> means "whistling".

wa0ţa4ga2ngu5 (__rà6) - drizzle - ţugiя

This word is an intresting one because it shows a pillar glyph not being pronounced: <wa0> is the pillar glyph, and is related to water. <ţa4> reads as /ts'/, <ngu5> as /u/, and <rà6> reads as /ɾ/. interstingly, this word holds no glyph with /i/ in it, but it is still pronounced, why? Because the word itself comes from the Èséts'i *ts'ugir which itself comes from the tsarkangle *ts'ugr. The orthograhpy of this old word is still used even though it gained a vowel in the meantime.

Also yes i forgot the <rà6> glyph when making the video i'm sorry :(

ţā0za8ba2__ngo6 - dawn - ţabzang

This one is pretty easy as all glyphs are pronounced (<ţā0> /ţa/ etc...). <ţā> can be replaced by <ţa> as well. <ba2> hold all the values it can possibly hold: it is read /b/, relates to light, and induce a high tone on the previous syllabe (which is ţā).

ji1mī3t'a4 - zero (nothing) - t'i

this word can be writting in many ways, but this particular way to write it means zero. Why would you tell me? It's thanks to the pillar glyph <ji1> which refers to numbers. The two others are pronounced /i/ and /t'/ respectivly.

ji1ka4ngo3 - nine (9) - kang

Same as above: <ji1> holds the "number" value which is transrferred to the whole word. The rest is pronounced /ka/ and /ng/.

Feel free to ask anything!

Quick answers to frequently asked questions: yes this is a font, it was made with fontforge, glyphs ere made in illustrator. I record with OBS most of the time but this particular video was made with Free Cam 8 (don't look it up because it only shows you scam sites now). Edited with premiere pro, even though i mostly do my animations on After effects.
The script is mine, made by me, for my personal woldbuilding project, Rükvadaen.
